Linkage to chromosome 11p12 in two Maltese families with a highly penetrant form of osteoporosis [PDF]
Osteoporosis is a metabolic bone disease with a strong genetic component. Family-based linkage studies were performed by a number of investigators to try to identify loci that might contain genes responsible for an increased susceptibility to ...
